The two use different mop designs rather than one being clearly better or worse - check the mop row above for each machine's type.

Value on price compares each machine's current price with its own 90-day typical price, so it reflects how good a deal it is right now rather than which is the better product for you. These figures come from the specifications and prices we track on our own product pages, not independent lab tests, and update live.
